Default [gonintendo]Guitar Hero boss wants retail to stop selling rival products
http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=97343

Quote:
"One thing I do say to retailers is that they should stop selling those rival products which don’t sell through, and instead focus on the products that are selling through and generate retail value and return on investment. I’m not here to talk about the competition, but one of our competitors we outsell nine to one, eight to one or seven to one depending on the week. The last GfK research showed that we have a 50 per cent market share of the music category – which includes Rock Band, Wii Music, SingStar and every other music game." - Michael Sportouch, Senior Director of Guitar Hero

anyone else think activision is run by the cockiest D bags on the planet? At least other high ups dont shout out how much they want to screw you.

Opeth07, stop posting news in which your avatar is the perfect reaction too XD What is it with Activision lately? I think their merger with Blizzard is having side effects. Must be a Zerg infection.

"I like Rock Band... I had a choice of Guitar Hero or Rockband when I got my Wii... I bought Rockband - and trackpack 1, and trackpack 2 and Rock Band 2."

Guitar Hero is ass and so is Activision. I haven't bought a GH game since GH3 and I don't intend on buying or renting any other ones anytime soon.

I got the whole Aerosmith set for $25 (Guitar & all, BNIB).
I also own 1-3 & Rock the 80's.

But really, after Rockband, I kinda came to my senses. It's a better game. And more fun.
